Thus, even when He rebuked those weak in faith, Jesus remained in a state of love towards those who were suffering.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIn other words, His rebuke did not diminish His mercy towards the suffering person,\u201d His Beatitude explained.<\/p>\n<h2>A Father\u2019s Humility Brings Healing to His Child<\/h2>\n<p>The Patriarch of Romania noted that, although reproved for his lack of faith, the child\u2019s father did not excuse himself but acknowledged his fault with tears.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe see in the words of the sorrowful father two complementary spiritual attitudes. First, his tears reveal repentance, because his faith was weak or mixed with doubt, while the words \u2018I believe, Lord\u2019 express his desire to strengthen his faith.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYet the words \u2018Help my unbelief\u2019 confirm once more his repentance united with humility. The father did not say \u2018help my weak faith\u2019, but, in humility, he called his little faith unbelief,\u201d Patriarch Daniel said.<\/p>\n<h2>Christ\u2019s Merciful and Healing Love<\/h2>\n<p>Through the child&#8217;s healing, Christ reveals His mercy to the child and to the father who repented, acknowledging his weak faith.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur Lord Jesus Christ shows mercy both to the father, who repents by acknowledging his weak faith, and to the child, whom He frees from the mute and deaf spirit that tormented him. Thus, all those present witnessed the merciful and healing love of the Lord Jesus Christ. He reveals to His disciples the knowledge of freeing people from the power of evil spirits,\u201d the Patriarch said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Saviour also taught His disciples\u2014and us\u2014how powerful prayer united with fasting is.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThus, the Lord Jesus teaches His disciples and us how necessary, living and powerful prayer united with fasting is, liberating from passions, unclean spirits, illness and weakness.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIn this sense, the Church has appointed this passage from the Gospel according to Saint Mark to be read during Great Lent, as this is especially a time of fervent prayer and intense fasting, in order to strengthen Christians in faith and to struggle against sin, selfish passions and evil spirits,\u201d His Beatitude added.<\/p>\n<h2>Saint John Climacus, Teacher of Repentance<\/h2>\n<p>Patriarch Daniel further explained why Saint John Climacus is commemorated on this Sunday.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPrayer, fasting and repentance, together with all their prostrations, tears and spiritual struggles, as described in The Ladder of Saint John, aim at the purification of the human person from passions and growth in virtues, in humble love for God and for others. These virtues are gathered in the soul like flowers of light, to be offered to our Lord Jesus Christ in the radiance of the Feast of Holy Pascha.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSaint John Climacus, teacher of prayer and repentance, is not only praised in the hymns of this Sunday, but is also invoked to pray for us; thus, he is not merely a spiritual model or icon, but also an intercessor for us,\u201d Patriarch Daniel said.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Lumina Newspaper<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/basilicanews\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-556506\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner-890x149.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner-890x149.jpeg 890w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner-360x60.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner-768x128.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 440px, (max-width: 768px) 354px, 890px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cPrayer united with fasting is necessary, living and powerful, liberating from passions, unclean spirits, illness and weakness,\u201d His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel of the Romanian Orthodox Church said on Sunday.
